Description

The actual CPV code is '75211200 Foreign Economic-Aid Related Services'.

Irregular migration means placing yourself in the hands of people smugglers and exposing yourself to grave and well-documented risks including physical and sexual abuse, illegal detention, extortion, being 'sold' to traffickers and death through drowning, violence or neglect. With a focus on protection, the procured programme will be developed in a 'bottom-up' way. A six-month Inception phase will allow for formative research into the knowledge, experience and attitudes of migrants, would-be migrants and migrant-sending communities. This will support the development of a robust theory of change and detailed programme design based on empirical data. Following this stage will be a three-year Implementation phase with activities and outputs aimed at discouraging irregular migration, providing viable alternatives and protecting the victims of migration. The implementation will be accompanied by operational research which will be an integral part of the programme, designed to test the effectiveness of the programme, to learn lessons in real time, inform appropriate adjustments and contribute to the wider understanding of irregular migration dynamics.
